...When asked, most people would say the book is better than the movie but film brings a clearer image to a story. The Tell Tale Heart is a story about a man who claims he has a disease but implies that because it has not dulled his senses, he cannot be called mad. He also points out his mental disorder actually caused his senses to become more acute. When he claims that he has heard things from heaven and hell, it gives away that his super human sensory is an illusion. He seems insane, he talks about an old man who he loves, but he can’t stand his eye or his heart beat. Before the end of the story he kills the old man. In the film there are characteristics that add to this story. The visualization, since you don’t have to imagine it, gives a greater impact. Film has the ability to add a lot of emphasis that make certain scenes stick out from the rest. This grabs attention. Some elements in film can’t be put into literature, an obvious one is actual sound. There are many different similarities in film and literature adaptions, but film brings unique qualities to a story that literature cannot. Film adaptation provides a physical visual for the events in the story. The film begins with a scene of the killer standing in a dark room while in a straightjacket. It's an erie start for the film. The killer is breathing heavily and opens his eyes slowly. This scene gives evidence that he is mad mentally and emotionally. This also makes it seem like the killer has objective. The killer...

...I am thrilled by the prospect of studying Literature with Film as a degree. Above and beyond novels studied as part of my English Literature A-level, I have sought insight into a range of books about the Middle East. For instance, In 'The Search of Walid Masoud', Jabra Ibrahim Jabra illustrates the world of sin and corruption in the 1948 Arab Israeli War through his colloquial Arabic, detecting moods. The tone of language and themes in his novels allows one to understand the nature of the author's stance in politics and society; the social injustice triggers action for change in both a socio-cultural context and individually. The social injustice of Jabra's novel is also portrayed in Mathieu Kassovitz's film, La Haine. He portrays the social ills of modern France in a theatrical manner, captivating me like no other film. Both Kassovitz and Ibrahim introduce the inequalities of societies through different platforms. Jabra is able to express the subsequent struggle for survival in war using a piece of written and personal dialogue, while Kassovitz's directing is influenced by the reality of social exclusion and aims to make his audience aware of a city being both a prison and a refuge of three protagonists. Films add a further texture to...

African Americans are seen as the dark, or the wrong within media. Throughout history most African Americans play minor characters that add conflict to stories such as To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. American history of race has impacted the world and created problematic stereotypes. “I pointed out that cultural identities are formed and informed by a nation's literature.

...Dead Poets Society's Transcendentalism Transcendentalism is apparent in many forms of literature dating back to the 1800s. The film Dead Poets Society connects the idea of transcendentalism to the modern age. The idea of transcendentalism focuses on freethinking and nonconformity, With multiple examples being found in the film. The film also shares a strong connection with classic literature from the past two centuries. The movie Dead Poets Society is transcendental because of its Thoreauian setting, the teachings of Mr. Keating, and the actions and reactions of the four main characters. Henry David Thoreau's classic story "Walden" is a prime example of a connection between the movie Dead Poets Society and classic literature. Thoreau states in the story that he "went to the woods to live deliberately." In the film, They take multiple different journeys to the woods for different reasons. Even the club they take part in, the dead poets Society, takes place in a cave in the woods. It is a place where they can think freely and not worry about the judgments of their teachers at school. Though this is not the only example of transcendentalism in the movie. John Keating as a character is a key factor in the transcendentalism in this film. Famous historical writers, such as John Locke and Ralph Waldo Emerson, preach the ideas of nonconformity and freethinking. Mr. Keating transfers these thoughts into a modern perspective, teaching the boys to...

...willing to suspend disbelief when we see a play, yet we demand so much more from a film production? Do you think that the limitation on special effects and alternative demand on the audience member to suspend disbelief is a weakness or strength of the theatrical experience? Would you rather see The Tempest on stage or in film? Why? Answer: In a theatrical play, we feel as if we are a part of it. The physical proximity to the “characters”, requires “suspension of disbelief” in order to continue enjoying the play. “Suspension of disbelief” is a term coined by famed poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge in the year 1817. This term implies to the willingness of the audience or the reader to ignore certain factors, such as supernatural, or limitations of the medium, to really enjoy the piece of art he/she is witnessing (Suspension of Disbelief, 2013). For example, in a magic show audience know that they are being tricked, and the magician is creating an illusion, but they willingly suspend disbelief in order to enjoy the show. In my opinion, the limitation on special effects is a strength of theatrical plays, as it leaves the audience to their imagination, and serves the purpose of transporting the audience to a fantastical world where there occurs an encounter with the live characters of the play. We become so involved in a theatrical play that added demand on suspension of disbelief becomes immaterial. Unlike a film, we feel as if we are participating in a play, and the adrenaline is so...

...Influences on Modern Works Over the years some literature works have left a legacy throughout human history. Their legacy was built through their influences on the different works of art, sculptures, later pieces of literature, songs, poem, films and sometimes video games. The Inferno part of Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy is one such literature work that is also one of the most well-known, well-referenced pieces of work today. It described in great detail Dante's vision of what hell would be like, and in doing so invented many of the tropes associated with Hell. This has led to several film adaptations and— most recently — a video game "adaptation”. References to Dante's Inferno in film can be found as far back as, draws heavily from Dante's Inferno. Se7en is a 1995 American crime film starring Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, and many other star-powered actors and actresses. The film is about the hunt of two homicide detectives, Detectives Sommerset and Mills, for a sadistic serial killer who murders in correspondence to one of the Seven Deadly Sins which his victim has committed. The murderer is determined by his desire to punish the world for its ignorance of the Seven Deadly Sins, viewing himself as akin to the Sword of God in handing out punishment of sins. As Detective Sommerset researches the Seven Deadly Sins to better understand the motive of the killer, Detective Mills simply scoffs at his efforts. Throughout the film, the detectives make numerous references to Dante’s...
